Best Answer

The broad rim Mexican sombrero was an adaptation of the hats worn by Spanish ranchers. The broad rim provides more shade and the name "sombrero" is derived from the Spanish word "sombra" which means shade.

Mexican sombreros are worn by charros who are the equivalent of the American cowboys.
